A thought
If you are going to replace your fuel filter, and you have removed the charcoal cannisters with all the rats nest of hoses, consider buying a little extra high pressure fuel line & relocating the filter to the space where the cannister was behind the right side "boomerang"
Pulling the tank, wrestling the old filter out & the new filter in.....between the frame tubes etc. etc. twice was enough for me!
